Workflow Node Reference

This reference summarizes the workflow nodes exposed by the SDX workflow builder. Use it while designing a workflow or reviewing whether a task belongs in workflows, scripts, or another SDX feature.

Trigger Nodes

Node	Use it for
Manual Trigger	Start a workflow from the UI or an explicit operator action.
Scheduled Trigger	Run a workflow on a recurring schedule.
API Trigger (Synchronous)	Accept an API request and return a workflow-generated HTTP response.
Trigger by Another Workflow	Make a workflow callable from another workflow.
Subflow Trigger	Start a workflow as an internal subflow.
Site Added	React when a new site is added.
Site Removed	React when a site is removed.
Site Offline	React when a site stops checking in.
Site Online	React when a site resumes heartbeats.
WAN Interface Offline	React when a WAN failover interface goes offline.
WAN Interface Online	React when a WAN failover interface comes online.
WAN Packet Loss	React when WAN packet loss is detected.
WAN Packet Loss Resolved	React when packet loss recovers.

Altostrat And MikroTik Actions

Node	Use it for
Altostrat API Call	Call SDX API endpoints from a workflow.
Get Site	Retrieve site details and configuration.
Get WAN Tunnel	Retrieve WAN tunnel details and status.
Get Resource Tags	Read tags from a resource.
Set Resource Tags	Add or update tags on a resource.
Attach Policy	Attach a policy to a site.
Detach Policy	Remove a policy from a site.
Update WAN Priorities	Change WAN failover priority order for a site.
MikroTik API	Run a real-time command against a site.
MikroTik Script	Dispatch a RouterOS script or configuration change to a site.

Integration Actions

Node	Use it for
Webhook/API Call	Send HTTP requests to external APIs.
SOAP Request	Call legacy SOAP services.
SSH Command	Execute commands on a remote server over SSH.
Send Email (SMTP)	Send an email through a configured SMTP server.
Send Notification	Send SDX notifications through configured notification channels.
Trigger Another Workflow	Start another workflow from the current workflow.

Data And Document Actions

Node	Use it for
AI Text Transform	Use an AI prompt to transform text or structured data.
Text Transform	Render text from workflow data using templates.
JSON Parser	Parse JSON input for later nodes.
Data Mapper	Map values into a new object or array shape.
Date Transform	Add, subtract, or format dates.
String Transform	Apply string operations to a value.
Validate Data	Validate data using rules before continuing.
Filter Array	Keep only array items that match conditions.
Markdown to PDF	Convert Markdown content into a PDF artifact.
Shorten Link	Create a shortened link from a long URL.
Ingest Metrics	Send custom metrics for monitoring and analysis.

Network And Security Tools

Node	Use it for
IPv4 Address Tool	Analyze an IPv4 address or CIDR range.
WireGuard Key Generator	Generate a WireGuard key pair or derive a public key.
CVE Scan Multiple IPs	Start an immediate CVE scan for multiple IP addresses.

Conditions And Flow Control

Node	Use it for
String Condition	Branch on text values.
Number Condition	Branch on numeric comparisons.
Date Condition	Branch on date or time logic.
Boolean Condition	Branch on true or false values.
Array Condition	Branch on array contents or count.
Resource Has Tags	Branch based on resource tags.
Switch	Create multiple branches from cases.
Logical Group (AND/OR)	Combine multiple rules into one decision.
Loop / Iterator	Process each item in a list.
Terminate	Stop the workflow and mark the path completed or failed.

Selection Guidance

Use SDX actions for platform state

If the workflow needs site, tag, policy, WAN, notification, or script behavior, prefer built-in Altostrat nodes over generic HTTP calls.

Use data nodes before branching

Normalize payloads before conditions. Clean data makes workflow paths easier to test and debug.

Use vault-backed credentials

External APIs, SMTP, SOAP, SSH, and signing keys should read credentials from vault items rather than plain node fields.

Keep loops bounded

Use loops for small, deliberate lists. For fleet-wide device changes, consider scheduled scripts or purpose-built SDX actions.
